Charles M. Harris, P.A.
Criminal Defense in Fort Myers and Southwest Florida
Choosing a law firm is not easy, considering the number of lawyers out there and everything riding on your decision. When you are facing criminal charges, your decision is more difficult because of the very real need to choose quickly.
I am Charles Harris, an accomplished criminal defense lawyer serving clients in Fort Myers, Cape Coral and throughout Southwest Florida, from Sarasota to Naples to Lake Okeechobee. My established law practice handles the full spectrum of criminal charges, including drug crimes, sex crimes, financial crimes, violent crimes and all felonies and misdemeanors. If you need representation, I offer:
• More than 30 years of Experience
I am a former Assistant State Attorney and federal criminal law defender who has handled thousands of criminal cases ranging from traffic violations and DUI to major drug trafficking and white collar crimes. My clients have included presidents and CEOs of corporations, Latin Kings gang members, major construction bosses, and native Colombians charged with importing tons of cocaine. In short, I am able to handle any criminal charges effectively, regardless of size or complexity.

• A Focused and Thorough Approach
Criminal defense is my exclusive focus. Not family law. Not real estate. Not business. Only criminal law. My experience and insights into the criminal justice system have taught me the value of being thorough in every facet of my work, from arrest and investigation to trial preparation and the appellate process. I am committed to doing whatever I can to achieve the best possible outcomes for my clients. Due to the success I have had for my clients, the demand for my services has increased to the point where I have had to add a very talented associate lawyer to our firm.
• Open Lines of Communication
Criminal charges are intimidating and stressful. I understand that my clients want to understand the charges against them, to know what to expect in court, and to have a clear grasp of the legal options that are available to them. Both I and my associate work hard to be accessible and responsive to the needs of our clients, and to keep them informed and involved at each stage of the process.
We represent many Hispanic clients, and have Spanish-speakers on staff. We also welcome tourists and other non-residents facing state or federal charges in Florida.
